I thought it interesting they actually put indie rock in quotes, which makes me think there’ll be some broad room for interpretation.

The nice thing about being a big fan of Indie/Alternate Rock I really doubt I will need to sign back up for anything listed here and if it is some rare gem, I think at this point I am comfortable enough with VMP history to realize that a wide non-exclusive pressing of whatever titles they choose will be likely coming down the pipe in another month or two.

I started collecting modern Vinyl in like 2008 so any big time seminal releases from 2012 I probably either already own or have had the opportunity to own and have passed for ware we reason. 1997 and 1999 are more intriguing but we shall see.

If calling it "indie rock" is what it takes to get us Midnight Vultures, then so be it.

At this point it's more relief than disappointment if they pick something I do not need because then don't get tempted to spend 60$ for an album

Oh yeah I haven't bought anything straight from them in years, I just wait till the discogs pricing goes down or find another member on reddit who took a blind buy on the music and doesn't like it.
I'd just like them to use their resources to make a good pressing. "Indie Rock" and these years have me intrigued. Listened to all this music 24/7 from the ages of 13-15. Gotta remind myself not to get invested.

Ignoring the indie rock clue, I just want Mogwais Young Team for 97, and Channel Orange for 2012

My hope would be:
(1999) Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
(2012) Tame Impala - Lonerism or Chromatics - Kill for Love (Celebration Rock is my favorite of the year, but they did Japandroids way back in their first year and I already own it)
(1997) Blur/Yo La Tengo/Built to Spill would all be a-ok with me

I already own or do not desire everything listed here. I hope you are correct.

If at any point Sublime comes into the conversation I'm going to threaten to cancel my membership on general principle.
My hate for Sublime knows no bounds and I will burn any motherfucker to the ground playing it.

I don't see VMP, or anyone like them, repressing any Italians Do it Better material. Johnny Jewel seems like he likes to keep all that stuff close to the chest and be the sole distributor of their music. And they do a good job in keeping it all in print in some cool color variant.
Didn't know they did Japandroids back in the day (Tho with the recent Sylan Esso repress/new pressing I don't know how much they care anymore)

I think it was prior to them doing exclusive pressings.

Wanna let it burn, wanna wanna let it burnnnn!!!!"
I actually love Sublime a lot, but understand the hate they get. You couldn't get away from some of those songs back then, and even still today.

My brother in law would play them non stop. It got to the point where I started really analyzing their music and came to the conclusion that I must go back in time and stop them from forming.
